The main objective of the thesis is to find and describe dependence between load carying capacity of a pin connection and a pin hole drilling. The dependence will be made in according to standard ČSN EN 1993-1-8, by theoretical solution and finally by finite element method in the ANSYS system. The second objective of the thesis is focused on a verification of load test results by numerical methods. Numerical solution will be made up in two analysis with different types of finite elements. The most fiiting model will be used as a basis for description of the relationship between capacity and diameter of drilling.
